They say you can’t put a price on
a life but can you put a price on a body part? How about a body part that was a
vital part of your profession? These must have been the questions that Ilja Gort
had in mind when he insured his nose for approximately $8 million USD. So what
could make any nose so expensive?

Mr. Gort is from Europe and makes his making wine
and testing wine. Not only do these factors alone make his nose his most prized
possession but considering the caliber of wine he’s dealing with while he works
in the Bordeaux region of France, one of the most prestigious wine areas in the
world. Ilja Gort saw Lloyd’s of London for the insurance policy as they had also
insured other body parts for people including America Ferrera’s smile, from Ugly
Betty.

So, besides all of that money what else did Ilja
Gort have to give up in order to insure his nose? The right to ride a
motorcycle, box, be a fire-breather, or a knife-thrower’s assistant. It’s all
part of his nose insurance policy!
